Wireless 101

• FIXED WIRELESS NETWORKS
• What is ?
• IEEE802.15 - WPAN (Wireless Personal Area
  Networks) a.k.a Bluetooth
  
• 802.15 - 720kbs _at_ 2.4GHz
• 802.15.3 (Ultra Wide Band) 480Mbps _at_ 3.1GHz
  -10.6GHz
  
• Used in close proximity to the devices which
  create the PAN
  
• RANGE 33ft

7
Wireless 101

• FIXED WIRELESS NETWORKS
• What is ?
• IEEE802.16 WMAN (Wireless Metropolitan Area
  Networks)
  
• a.k.a WiMAX (Wireless Microwave Access)
• 802.16a - 75Mbps _at_ 5.8GHz
• 802.16c operates in licensed frequency bands
  between 10GHz and 66GHz
  
• 802.16e Mobile WiMAX
• RANGE 30miles

Wireless 101

• WHATS HOT ?
• FIXED WIRELESS NETWORKS
• WiFi (Internet Hotspots)
• WiMAX
• Ultra Wideband
• MOBILE WIRELESS NETWORKS
• GPRS (Blackberry)
• EDGE
• CDMA

15
Wireless 101

• APPLICATIONS
• FIXED WIRELESS NETWORKS
• Enterprise / Branch office connectivity
• Internet Hot Spots (Hotels, Airports etc)
• CCTV surveillance / security
• Sensor monitoring and information transfer
• Command and Control of Security Forces /
  Military
  
• Disaster Recovery (Hurricanes etc)

16
Wireless 101

• APPLICATIONS
• MOBILE WIRELESS NETWORKS
• Text Messaging
• Voice
• E-mail

17
Wireless 101

• IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES
• FIXED WIRELESS NETWORKS
• SECURITY
• BUILDING CONSTRUCTION

18
Wireless 101

• IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES
• MOBILE WIRELESS NETWORKS
• DATA TRANSMISSION SPEED vs APPLICATIONS

19
Wireless 101

• FUTURE OF THE TECHNOLOGY
• FIXED WIRELESS NETWORKS
• Mesh Networks
• VoIP
• Multimedia Convergence (voice, video and data)
• WiMAX networks will be used to compliment the 3G
  networks (which may be hampered by insufficient
  spectrum allocation and cause an effect on data
  speeds)

20
Wireless 101

• FUTURE OF THE TECHNOLOGY
• MOBILE WIRELESS NETWORKS
• WCDMA/UMTS
• Mobile e-commerce (a.k.a m-commerce)
• For 3G networks buildout expected difficult since
  smaller cells (as small as 75m)required to
  support 2Mbps data rates
  
• In short buildout expected to be slow and less
  effective than anticipated by proponents

Wireless 101

• FUTURE OF THE TECHNOLOGY
• Next Stop
• 4G !!
• (SPECTRUM ALLOCATION IN 2007 -
• expected data rates up to 20Mbps )
